Second Covid-19 wave ‘is already here,’ says premier of Germany’s Saxony state

 

25 Jul, 2020 13:13

 

Michael Kretschmer, minister-president of the eastern German state of Saxony, believes “the second coronavirus wave is already here.” The deadly virus’ comeback “is already taking place every day,” he told local media on Saturday.

 

“We have new clusters of infection every day which could become very high numbers,” Kretschmer predicted. He spoke shortly after Germany’s Robert Koch Institute (RKI) recorded a significant uptick in fresh daily infections.

 

According to the institution, “the number of new cases reported every day had already risen in the past few days.” There were 815 new infections on Friday, a figure significantly up from the 500 cases registered on the same day last week. “This development is very worrying and RKI will continue to closely monitor it,” the institution wrote in a press release.

 

In neighboring France, authorities are also worried about a second Covid-19 wave looming. Previously, the newly appointed Prime Minister Jean Castex said on-the-spot coronavirus tests will be obligatory for travelers arriving from 16 countries where infections have surged, including the US and Brazil.

Judge blocks Seattle’s tear gas & crowd control weapons ban as city braces for weekend protests

 

25 Jul, 2020 06:31

 

A federal judge has overturned a Seattle ordinance that prohibited police from using crowd control weapons. The last-minute decision comes hours after the city’s police chief said the force would be powerless to stop mob violence.

US District Judge James Robart blocked the ban, which was put in place by the Seattle City Council, during an emergency hearing on Friday night. The Seattle ordinance, which was set to go into effect this weekend, would have prevented police from using pepper spray, blast balls, and other crowd control weapons.

 

The temporary restraining order on the legislation was made after the US Department of Justice argued that prohibiting Seattle police from using crowd control weapons could actually result in more deadly force being used in situations where law enforcement need to intervene.

“Peaceful demonstrations that have been taking place in cities in the US, such as Portland, really must be able to continue without those participating in them… risking arbitrary arrest or detention, being subject to unnecessary, disproportionate or discriminatory use of force, or suffering other violations of their rights,” Liz Throssell, spokesperson for the UN’s Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR), said on Friday.
